    No, it gets worse. Guaranteed.

    I wake up and worry about stuff.

We go right to sleep and if I have to get up to go to the bathroom or something I go right back to sleep. 7-8 hours of quality sleep every night. Every now and then I forget to take it and I wake up around 3-4 am and am restless (in and out of sleep) the rest of the night. Game changer.

    I've been taking 10mg of time release melatonin which works pretty good for 7-8 hours of sleep for the most part. I often wake up between sleep cycles but fall right back asleep.

    I had to take Benadryl as well a while back, but I'm off of that now.

And it's almost an emergency when one of them runs out of trazodone and someone else will get the refill for them.

    Do you find it gets you through more than a few hours of sleep though? My daughter says it knocks her out, but it doesn't get her more than 5-6 hours of sleep when her regular schedule is off.

    You can thank me later.

    I might have to take up bird watching as a hobby.
